Adam Hood - Bayou Girl Lyrics

I know a girl named DeeDee
She’s a good friend of mine
Living on the bayous in Evangeline
Pretty as a picture in a magazine
About the prettiest little thing you ever seen

Back upon the muddy water
Down where the big fish go
I’m running along the banks in a little pirogue
All day long what I’m thinking of
I’m hoping i can snare me a little Cajun dove

She lives down in a two bit town
Where the palmetto grows all around
Anywhere in the whole damn world
You won’t never find love like a bayou girl

We were sitting in a shotgun cabin
Sipping a little sherry wine
Sure do have some fun, sure do have a real good time
Laughing and singing, I guarantee
To the Adalida and the Fiddle-Dee-Dee

Someday we’re gonna get married
She will be my bons temps bride
Many people come and watch us stand side by side
Gonna hire a little band to play fais do-do
Étouffée and hot gumbo

She lives down in a two bit town
Where the palmetto grows all around
Anywhere in the God-almighty world
You won’t never find love like a bayou girl
There ain’t nothing in the world like a bayou girl
